He's really from Newark.

That makes it's almost too 'stereo-type-casting' to "The Many Saints of Newark (2021)".  If Ray Liotta was described as 'character-actor", his too early, premature death, at the age of 63, is sourly missed by the film fans across the universe, not just in New York.

He was found dead, while filming the new production in Dominican Republic, his unique presence, the diversity of the characters, covered wide variety, from an average human being gangster, "Goodfellas (1990)", to ghost of a actual baseball player, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson, who speaks true spirit in "Field of Dreams (1989)"

He could've done more, played much more different characters, film makers across the universe, Martin Scorsese, Kevin Costner, Ridley Scott, also surely miss him.
